Eagles RT, Lane Johnson, is apparently facing a 10 game suspension for PED use according to some in the media up here in Philly.

He will appeal. But that just seems like standard procedure when you get pinched. Appeal and have the NFL tell you to pound sand.

Wow.

Only face them once in the first 10 games.

steroids of some form I would assume. Even with him out, with our "pass rush", if we were to play the Eagles, it would be like two high school teams out there.

This will be ignored and the "league is out to get us" mantra will continue on.

There's a 'the league is out to get us mantra' when it comes to suspensions? I've never seen any sign of it. Our damage has been self-inflicted in that area.

EDIT: come to think of it, maybe you're referencing the 'Mara will make sure Zeke gets suspended' stuff. That's outlier posting from the fringe. Not really indicative of how the fanbase feels, overall.

I don't think we've really gotten screwed on suspensions.

Maybe Hardy suspension shouldn't have happened considering he was found not guilty and had been suspended the entire year before.

The Miles Austin thing that got us a salary cap penalty was upsetting.

They have to hit on Wentz or they will be one of the worst teams in the NFL for a loooong time. They absolutely gutted their draft.

Wentz has all the tools to be very good. Reportedly, he's struggled with mechanics and accuracy in camp, though. He's going to be redshirted this season.

I agree with you for next year and beyond, though. I still think the Eagles should have stayed put and just given Daniels the shot after Bradford moves on. That dude is good enough to be a starter in this league.

The Austin thing was ridiculous, I agree. The league goes and approves the contract and then hands out the penalty.

I like how they say they're going to sit Wentz all year. Wentz isn't backing up Romo but Sam Bradford. They act like he's the second coming of Joe Montana.

He's behind both Bradford and Daniel, and losing snaps to both, reportedly.

PHI has the luxury of sitting the guy for a year. They ought to do it. Next year is another story.

As well as lost next years first. Which could easily be a top 3 pick and a 2nd in 2018 that could very well be in then 30's

They paid Bradford and Daniel a zillion dollars. They better at least try to get something from them for a year.
